Armored Core is quite viable for in-arena combat scenarios, since most of the IS simply skate around.

Rectonning quite a number of stuffs, particularly another Rep Candidate who resides in Class Two aside from Lingyin herself.

Speaking of Class Two:

Spoiler for New Classmate:

“G-Good Morning! My name is Tsurugi Katami!” introduces Tsurugi, dressed in standard Academy uniform, as she stands before the entirety of Class Two then bows “N-Nice to meet everyone!”

Most of the class remained surprised not due to her slightly rattled introduction, which is common for someone who has not stepped into a classroom environment for some time, but for the fact that she enrolled during summer. Even their class representative, China’s Representative Cadet Huang Lingyin, is amused that she would get a new classmate at all. Standing next to Tsurugi is Kaori, who happens to be the Class’s Homeroom Teacher.

“There you have it. Katami-san here will be part of our Class from here on so do be nice to her… especially you.”

She points straight at Lingyin who’s sitting on the front-most row with a sharp stare. Caught off-guard by her teacher’s remark, she could only freeze in her seat for by the sight of her teacher’s long, braided crimson hair coupled with her emerald green eyes seemingly make the ideal combination of a terrifying instructor.

“Katami, you may take the seat next to Albrecht-san.” Kaori points to a blonde, short-haired student sitting next to the classroom’s windows “Albrecht-san.”

The student raises her hand “Right here, Sensei!”

Tsurugi makes her way to her designated desk. All while passing smiles to her new classmates on the front row and both sides as she walks down the row where her table is. As soon as she sets down, the student next to her reaches out her hand.

“Kirin Albrecht, resident of room 1060, nice to meet you.”

Her voice is of German accent and her crimson eyes, blonde hair and fair skin makes it pretty clear that she is of foreign origin.

“Likewise. Eh, 1060…? That’s—”

“Your room too, right? I heard from Sensei that I got a roommate who moved in during summer, someone by the name Katami.”

“I see… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to intrude.”

“Intrude? No, No… I’d love a roommate! I’ve been living in that room alone since I came here.”

Her status is made known in the same chapter she's introduced, so yeah.

Exactly! We don't know how the rooms' numbers actually denotes their location, if they actually do that is.

Also drafting this part:

Spoiler for Lingyin:

Lunchtime bell rang and students of the Academy promptly filled the seats in the campus’ cafeteria. It is a modest scene to look at for Tsurugi as she looks around the place, awed by the marveling beauty of the café that it hardly felt like she is in a school. Seated on a round table, she’s accompanied by Kirin and a few of her classmates with their respective trays on the table.

“Murakumo-sensei…?”

“Yeah! I heard you went up against her during your enrollment, how did it go?”

“Well…” She recalls her duel against the instructor during her enrollment, which ended in her loss. “I didn’t fare so well, I guess… It was my first time piloting an IS. I barely lasted five minutes against her.”

*TOOM* Her classmates slam their palms on the table and leans towards her, apparently surprised by her words.

“FIVE minutes…?”

“Y-Yeah… L-Like I said, it was my first time using an IS let alone fighting with one.”

“But still, even our class rep didn’t last three minutes against her.”

“Class rep…?”

“Huang Lingyin. She’s also a Representative Candidate from China and is our class’ strongest pilot.”

@Jak

Though I did say I'll be taking a hiatus, I never lifted my attention from Athena. I have a feeling that if I do, it'll sink again like before... One fic at a time, so to say.

Though that does not excuse bunnies from popping out all over my mind from time to time.

@jak: still trying to straighten out my brain as to how I want to approach the fourzeXIS. I really want to get that idea out before I continue cake eater. So no, I'm not doing well on my fic since I'm stuck trying to imagine cool fightscenes without Gentarou getting power-ups. 2.5 tons of punching force and 6.5 tons of kicking force won't really register to an IS. So he'd be spamming his 40 weapons all over the place just to scrape by. >.>

@zero: I think it's somewhat of a levitation mechanism mixed in with the anti-grav that lessens the unit weight so I doubt they are lighter than air. Though it is true that the lack of inertia and effect of drag requires them to burn thrusters more, I don't think they are paper light. If anything I'd imagine a giant baseball @_@ with its own laws of physics.

I don't know what'll happen if you pit Lingyin and Tsurugi against each other, but from what I can tell, it won't be pretty...

Ever thought of having him being methodical?

Anyway, guys. I have another scene in mind, but I don't know if I should post it here or not...

"You cannot be bad at watching a movie. You cannot be bad at listening to an album.
...But you can be bad at playing a videogame, and the game will punish you and deny you access to the rest of the videogame."

@jak: only blitz commented on Kyokugen if that makes you feel better. and he's rarely here at all . About Genta, he's a punk brawler. Methods aren't his strongest suit. So I was thinking of giving him a coach like he does in the series. Someone who drops hints and ideas to him as to how best tackle the current situation. Hmmm, then again I'm worried about lack of impact. But eventually I want to tie in the canon cast and Gentarou's powers. Just wondering how to implement it.

And I'm not any luckier. Though I wouldn't really blame people for ignoring mine since it's practically an OC-heavy AU fic so most of the characters are of my own.

Then again, this upcoming arc would involve ISA scenes more frequently.

Side note: Can one execute a missing-man formation with just two aircrafts?

Beast Wars somehow managed with three for Dinobot's funeral. But I guess two's just pushing it... I remember it being said somewhere that Lingyin threatened someone just to get the Class Rep title, is that canon?
